Zulip supports [full-text search](/help/search-for-messages), which can be

|
|
|
combined arbitrarily with Zulip's full suite of [search
|
|
|
|
|
filters](/help/search-for-messages#search-filters). By default, Zulip search
|
|
|
|
|
only supports English text, using [PostgreSQL's built-in full-text search
|
|
|
|
|
feature](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/textsearch.html), with a custom
|
|
|
|
|
set of English stop words to improve the quality of the search results.

Self-hosted Zulip organizations can instead set up an experimental
|
|
|
|
|
[PGroonga](https://pgroonga.github.io/) integration that provides full-text
|
|
|
|
|
search for all languages simultaneously, including Japanese and Chinese. See
